2014 Yamaha Super Tenere ES Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Engineered by Yamaha for the super motard motorcycle segment, the 2014 Yamaha Super Tenere ES relies on a 1199 cc (73.2 cu in) liquid-cooled twin, four-stroke powerplant. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 98.0 x 79.5 mm (3.9 x 3.1 inches) with a 11.0:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the Super Tenere ES measures 265.8 kg (586 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 848 mm (33.4 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,539 mm (60.6 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 22.71-liter (6 US gal) fuel tank paired with a rated consumption of 5.88 L/100 km provides an estimated theoretical range of roughly 386 km (240 miles) between fill-ups.
